The Spirit speaks softly

MORE HUGS, PLEASE!

By Dany Hernandez — Littleton, Colorado … I was surrounded by a hundred strangers at a street-side restaurant in a small coastal town in southern France.

RMC ONLINE: STREAMING CHURCH SERVICES

Denver, Colorado … In the midst of the Coronavirus Crisis, I believe God is calling His people to worship Him. Yes, it is scary because we don’t know the future. But our precious friend, Jesus, promised to be with us every step of the way (Matt 28:20).
